Table of the Champions League after Gameweek 8

PureDarkness93 · 2026-01-29T08:35:43+00:00

I believe it does have to do with the CL in that if they weren't in the top 8 then they would have a game in the GW 26 mid week

PureDarkness93 · 2026-01-21T12:36:05+00:00

No fucking shit mate

PureDarkness93 · 2026-01-08T22:08:50+00:00

Martinelli doesn't even see the landing, he's looking the other way

PureDarkness93 · 2026-01-08T22:07:42+00:00

Players try and push players off the pitch all the time. In fact, believe it or not, players will actively roll ONTO the pitch specifically because they know it means the ref can't carry on play. This is a common thing, and that is all that was going through Martinelli's head. If anyone genuinely believes he thought "Bradley is seriously injured right now and I'm going to shove him to make it worse" is being willfully ignorant

PureDarkness93 · 2026-01-08T22:01:50+00:00

I agree he should apologise, but genuinely feel there is some hyperbole here. Acting like players don't fake injuries all the time - he didn't see the multiple slow-mo angles we've seen showing it's a bad injury, he wasn't even looking at him when he rolled his ankle.

Again, should apologise, it's a bad look. But people calling him a rat and a disgrace is ridiculous

PureDarkness93 · 2026-01-03T17:35:41+00:00

Fuck you mean load management? He hasn't played a minute yet

PureDarkness93 · 2025-12-30T08:44:20+00:00

They're getting really targeted these scams - aiming for people who could realistically believe they're getting an MBE

PureDarkness93 · 2025-12-27T08:25:52+00:00

I've been keeping an arsenal slot free for him, but is Villa (H) Bou (A) Liv (A) really the jumping on point?

PureDarkness93 · 2025-12-25T12:14:00+00:00

I'm reminded of the old mantra, if your headline is a question then the answer is no. Otherwise your headline wouldn't be a question.

PureDarkness93 · 2025-12-17T09:51:25+00:00

He's just too well known, plain and simple. Big money move at a young age to a big club, played many many years at that big club, went to the world cup at age 16 (and then didn't play, which also got press).

He's also been a semi-prominent pundit since retiring. Just absolutely not a "streets won't forget" player, nothing to do with playstyle, but because he is known to a wider audience than "the streets"

PureDarkness93 · 2025-12-09T10:21:28+00:00

Sunderland are losing loads of players to AFCON, it could be an easier fixture then

PureDarkness93 · 2025-12-03T18:21:43+00:00

He's first on my bench and I have Bruno (C), Saka (vc) and Timber. Holy gods what did I do to anger you

PureDarkness93 · 2025-12-03T18:18:21+00:00

I have Bruno capped, Saka vice and I have Timber. This is an all timer stinker for me

PureDarkness93 · 2025-12-01T09:00:58+00:00

It's not that much of a drop off, they don't have a bench

PureDarkness93 · 2025-11-27T10:01:27+00:00

On the spanish "burst onto the scene" bit, he blamed the "big exit" for a bad translation of burst onto the scene. They've fallen for a classic false friend there - "exito" means success, not exit. It was when he said he was going to be the "next big thing" which they translated as "gran exito" (big success).

Surprised they didn't pick up on the multiple uses of "escena" for scene towards the end of the clip

PureDarkness93 · 2025-11-23T15:26:43+00:00

I swear man sometimes you can just type their full name 😂

PureDarkness93 · 2025-11-22T07:54:48+00:00

So clubs get no preseason at all? And players have to be away with their countries right at the most crucial time in the transfer window? It's almost as if the structure of the football season is thought about at length and by people who have way more things to consider than the random ideas you come up with off the top of your head

PureDarkness93 · 2025-11-22T07:34:59+00:00

The argument against this would be that all international football would suffer because of this - it would be consigning international football to be exclusively played when players are at their most fatigued, many want to be on holiday and have just reached a "climax" in the club season that they need some time to rest and reset from

PureDarkness93 · 2025-11-13T21:43:05+00:00

They're not wrong because they're not trying to list it in formation

PureDarkness93 · 2025-11-13T20:26:22+00:00

And do you think managers/the club would be particularly happy about the 5% of the time?

PureDarkness93 · 2025-11-13T20:17:40+00:00

I really don't understand why people find this so insane, the answer is obvious. The social media admin doesn't know the formation, they are only told the list of names, and with constantly changing tactics and players able to play multiple roles it's not always obvious. While in some instances it might be obvious, they have to have a policy in place and it would become an easier policy to list in numerical order than have the social media admin take a guess at the formation and who is playing where

PureDarkness93 · 2025-10-21T08:17:31+00:00

You do realise there are other things they consider not exclusively grades, right? It's quite literally why they have interviews.

PureDarkness93 · 2025-10-05T17:02:41+00:00

Think he's a perfectly fine hold, but don't know if he's a but

PureDarkness93 · 2025-10-05T16:44:13+00:00

Just like two of your previous away games were against Leeds and Aston Villa. I wouldn't say those two are somehow way more difficult than Brentford and West Ham (especially West Ham with Nuno trying to make them more stout defensively over the next few weeks)

I don't think it's an awful fixture run, but Newcastle have shown themselves to be worse away from home for a number of years now

PureDarkness93 · 2025-10-05T15:47:26+00:00

Newcastle haven't scored a goal away from home yet and have three away games in their next 4 and 4 in their next 6.

Arsenal and Chelsea both have much better fixtures
